I apologize for not reviewing long ago! A couple of years ago I walked into the parlor for an estimate on a simple tattoo that I'd been wanting. The meaning behind it is extremely important to me and I could tell that the artist I spoke with understood that and really cared. Despite having a higher minimum he actually seemed to feel like my tattoo was important enough to warrant a quote well below the shop minimum. I hadn't expected to actually get tattooed that day but he had free time and I was extremely impressed and touched with his compassion and personal interest. After finalizing my design I settled in and he began.
I've been tattooed before enough to have a good grasp on what to expect and how my body reacts. Even so I was pleasantly surprised at his work and attention to detail even on such a small simple tattoo. His lines were smooth and he really took his time and made sure to do his best work even though it was only a cheap piece.
It turned out amazing. Even after years the lines are crisp and sharp. The text is still black and has barely faded even though it's on my wrist. It looks less than a month old still! I love it, every time I look down at my wrist and see it I feel warm and fuzzy. I got the tattoo as part of the semicolon project to remind myself that my story isn't over. It's supposed to comfort me if I ever feel depression weighing me down or feel suicidal. It does that amazingly. I trace the lines with my finger and feel myself calming immediately.
Tattoos are permanent. For something that important you need an artist who cares, for whom your body means more than a paycheck. You'll get that here. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thank you guys for helping...
   Read moreWe had an appointment last night with Mia & she was so amazing! We were so impressed with her professionalism and knowledge. I took my sister for a helix and nose piercing for an early Christmas present. My sister originally wanted an industrial, but Mia checked out her ear and determined it wouldnât be a good fit and although it was a bummer she explained why and gave us even better alternatives that my sister is stoked about. Sheâs not even sad about the industrial not working out. We really respected her honesty when a lot of people would have pierced her just to make a buck.
I 1000% recommend seeing Mia at Lone Wolf. The place is clean and really one of kind! Itâs got a really cool vibe if your into horror films. Also, while I was there and talking with Mia about a previous cartilage piercing of mine I found out about a piece I could wear without it hurting while I slept. Shelby put the piece in for me since it was a gauge up from my previous piercing and she was amazing as well! We loved our experience and we will be back!! Thanks...
   Read moreDon't get pierced here! I went to get my septum done after a long time thinking and researching about that piercing. I went here to get it done, and that was a mistake. They did not mark my nose and allow me to check before it was pierced. The piercing itself hurt so bad I almost passed out. This is not my first piercing by any means, so I knew that pain was abnormal. I mentioned to the piercer that I felt like it was in my cartilage, and I was told that it was normal, it was just stiff. I did not check the piercing while I was still there very closely. Once I got home and looked in the mirror, I was horrified. It was still hurting so bad and it was crooked vertically and horizontally. I called another shop and went into have it looked at and removed less than an hour later. I was told there that my nose was "butchered". It was pierced so far back into my nose it would have never healed. Do not go here for...
